Waltz with Bashir

Charlotte and myself went along to the Poly to see the film 'Waltz with Bashir'. We werent really sure what to expect apart from we knew it was about war.
The film really shocked me as I had no clue about the first Lebanon war, or the dreadful things that happened. I thought the film was really sucessful in exposing these things in a new way.
The people in the film were real people that fought in 1982, trying to recount their experiences and understand why it all happened.

It showed a darker side to what can be achieved with 2D animation. The opening scene of a pack of dogs running wild through a town had a huge variety of camera shots and was, i think, terrifying.

And the dream scene in which three soldiers float towards a beach has an amazing use of light and dark.


It was definately worth the watch.
